is another offensive lineman who impressed in a run-heavy offense this past season. He lined up mainly at right tackle but showed the ability to play on the left side as well when needed. Vanover does a great job of clearing out space quickly, using his physicality and high motor to drive his man out of the picture to create a running lane for the ball carrier. He truly plays through the whistle, finishing a lot of his blocks several yards down the field. Leelen has received some college interest and I expect his recruitment to continue to heat up this offseason.

has been on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a junior. He lined up mainly at right tackle but has shown the ability to play on the left side when needed. Vanover is a very impressive run blocker, exploding out of his stance and keeping his feet running through contact to drive his man down the field with ease. He finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. Leelen is a player who will likely be on the radar of college coaches heading into his senior season.

caught my attention on the camp circuit this offseason and was just as impressive when watching his sophomore year film. Vanover is an interior offensive lineman who is very reliable in pass protection. He does a great job of maintaining a strong base while absorbing contact while also fighting to keep inside position with his hands. In the run game, Vanover is explosive out of his stance and runs his feet through contact to drive his man down the field with ease. Leelen doesn’t currently hold any offers but he will be a player to keep a close eye on after transferring from Madison Souther to Rockcastle County for his junior year.

is a player who has been on my radar for a while now and continued to impress at Saturday’s camp. Vanover displayed strong hands during 1v1 drills, showing the ability to defeat pass rush moves and maintain inside position with ease. He also showed the ability to get into his pass sets quickly to mirror opposing pass rushers while keeping a strong base. Vanover has already received some college interest and will definitely be a player to continue to watch over the next two years.

, an offensive lineman at Madison Southern High School. Vanover stands out with his footwork and ability to maneuver the pocket, proving he can shut down the blitz and contain multiple defenders at once. I also like Vanover’s ability to adapt, proving he can match his foe’s physicality and use his size to lock down the opposition.

is another returner to this year’s Kentucky Future Stars Team. The 6-foot-2, 260-pounder is a kid that brings a lot of sheer size and ability. He’s currently a two-way tackle/defensive end with a body type that I can see going many different ways. Has some good muscle mass on him already and puts in the work to get better. He’s already on the college camp trail, too.

I’m not sure what it is in Kentucky, but the Bluegrass State turns out big linemen earlier than most other states in the country. Vanover is no exception to that precedent, at 6-foot-2 and 230-pounds about to being his eighth-grade season. He’s a two-way lineman that excels on both sides of the ball, but I like him as a Defensive Lineman more. Right now he’s a bit of a tweener, which isn’t a bad thing, because he’s long and lean enough to play Defensive End/Edge, but also has enough bulk to be an athletic Defensive Tackle. I look forward to seeing what he does at Farristown Middle School this season.
